Suggestions on protecting table legs from a puppy's need to gnaw. [View all]

Bought a new dining room table set back in November. Skippa, the new Golden Retriver puppy likes the chair legs...they taste good! So, the chairs are relocated to the spare bedroom. Now I need to save the table legs from his teething. I gave him a pine stick to chew on, but, of course, the table legs are much tastier.

Get a refillable kong toy. Fill it with tasty treats and peanut butter and put it in the freezer. iscooterliberally Feb 2023 #8
